Is it true that if my email password is leaked on a website I use, anyone can see it just by using my email on the deep web?

if an online service's authentication system is implemented correctly, user passwords shouldn't be stored in plain text, so a database leak from that service shouldn't expose your password
but lots of services don't properly store user credentials because they're dumb and/or lazy, so there are plenty of plaintext passwords that have been leaked, or recovered because they weren't salted
>deep web
most credential leaks are on darknets, not the "deep web"
